In checking the NFL's defensive stats, I was stunned to see that the Panthers have allowed the fewest pass completions in the league, with only 58 (2nd place is 62 completions), That's not just good, it's great, but as some will surely point out, if you can't stop the run, then why would they even have to pass?

The Good - The Panthers rank 14th in defense overall (6th in pass defense).

The Bad - The Panthers allow the highest YPC (yards per catch) in the NFL at 14.8 YPC.

The Ugly - The Panthers rank 31st against the run.
